WWI machine guns are somewhat antiquatated compared to today's uber fully automatic hunting rifles built specifically for hunting today's super animals such as the flying squirrel.

But he has given OBL another year. "We will make no distinction between the terrorists and the people who harbor them"  It's time to tell Pakistan that.

 Quite the opposite. It's collectivist states that start wars.
 Religion may be used as an excuse but it is really the state doctrine that causes religious civil or foreign wars.

Incredible...  I agree w/ miko.

When it comes to war, nationalism becomes little more than mob rule on a huge scale.  Have you ever heard of conflicts between tribes spilling over to their neighbors or inflicting massive casualties?  We fight ideological wars over rights and sovereignty instead of cattle and grazing land.

That being said, I think conflict is an inseparable part of human nature, and if war is a consequence of building nations among men, then maybe it's one worth dealing with.

Preon1: Incredible... I agree w/ miko.

 I did not come up with that. There is a whole school of philisophy and economics behind this statement.

Preon1: That being said, I think conflict is an inseparable part of human nature...

 Provided the most basic - but essential - prerequisite of private property, the human nature is inclined towards peacefull social cooperation via division of labor and exchange/trade in a free market setting. Mutual cooperation without coercion ensues even though every individual is pursuing his own selfish goals.
 The only competition in this case is among the producers of the same goods in the race to better serve their customers' needs.

 It is only when political process (which equals threat or use of violence) interferes with the individual's freedom of contract and movement that tensions arise.

peace is the dream of the wise, war is the history of man.
